“I wrote ‘Little Blue Room’ about time and love,” says Rao. “It was in writing this song that I figured out that it was time to end a relationship, a tough process, but I love songwriting for that reason. If I’m ever unclear about which step to take, I’ll start writing a song and by the end of it, I’m usually pretty certain about what I truly want. The video is a bit surprising, but I’m hoping that people will see the metaphor in it.”

Watch as the soulful L.A.-based Rao tells the story of a woman coping with the end of a relationship — with an unexpected twist! Without further ado, the exclusive premiere of “Little Blue Room,” shot, directed and produced by Ron Utin Lalkin and Maddie Staszak.
